Predicting Field of Job Entry from Expressed Vocational Choice and Certainty Level.

Noeth, Richard J.; Jepsen, David A.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v28 n1 p22-26 Jan 1981

Expressed vocational choices correctly predicted actual occupations 2 years after high school for 38 percent of the total sample. When certainty level was added to expressed choice, prediction rates were 43 percent for very sure choosers, 38 percent for fairly sure choosers, and 28 percent who were not sure. (Author)
